Located in the center of Georgia, the Assembly at Warner Robins had outgrown its 600-seat sanctuary and was paying the price with multiple services scattered across the weekend. To bring the entire congregation back together under one roof, the church devised a plan to knock out the back wall and to more than double the available seating with a theater-style arrangement. In the process, integration firm MABE Production and Installation of Lakeland, Florida designed and installed state-of-the-art sound, video, and lighting systems. Citing ease of installation, reliability of performance, and flexibility for future expansion, MABE specified a complete Dante-networked sound reinforcement system, including Ashly Audio Dante-equipped ne4800 and ne8800 Protea™ digital matrix processors.
When St. George Episcopal Church in San Antonio, Texas wanted to improve the worship experience for its parishoners, integrator Multimedia Specialties recommended an upgrade to a flexible, affordable TEKVOX Multi-Display Solution.
St. George Episcopal Church was founded in 1954 and holds two worship services Sunday morning. It had been using a projector and motorized screen in the altar area of its traditional church interior to display text and images, but the technology obscured the altar and had only limited multimedia applications.
To offer a more exciting experience to worshippers, St. George Church opted for a flat-panel solution. “The existing projection screen came down in front of the cross and interfered with the aesthetics of the altar,” says John Joffe, owner of San Antonio’s Multimedia Specialties. “By installing four flat panels and deploying the TEKVOX Multi-Display Solution the church got its beautiful altar back and gained versatility for worship services and other events.”

The history of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn is deep. Founded by German immigrants shortly after the Civil War, the church grew steadily through the 1930s. To accommodate that growth, Trinity constructed a 350-seat sanctuary in 1940 that still serves the church to this day. The Gothic, limestone structure is considerably longer than it is wide, and its stained glass and ornate architecture make it a beautiful and transcendent place to worship. These days, Trinity holds two Sunday services, one in a more traditional style and one that’s more contemporary. Though beautiful, the Sanctuary has been challenged by unintelligible sound quality and poor gain-before-feedback. In order to address these issues, the church called on Peoria-based Advanced Audio & Lighting Systems, who solved these problems with the excellent pattern control and point-source purity of a single Danley Sound Labs SM-96 loudspeaker.

Advanced Encoding/Decoding and Digital Video Protection Solutions Enable Church to Transmit High-Quality Video to Second Campus Reliably and Cost-Effectively
DigitalGlue has announced that Stonegate Fellowship in Midland, Texas has engaged with the company to develop a system for transmitting live, broadcast-quality video and audio to the church’s remote campus, located 20 miles away in the neighboring city of Odessa. The installation uses an IP network and advanced encoding technologies to provide seamless transmissions at a fraction of the cost of more traditional technologies, giving Stonegate Fellowship the ability to reach worshippers simultaneously at both locations during Sunday services.

Faith Evangelical Free Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado has occupied its current three-hundred seat sanctuary for over a decade, but it never sounded as good as it does now, owing to the recent installation of Danley Sound Labs SH-60 loudspeakers and a Danley TH-212 subwoofer. “Finding the right loudspeakers for their blended contemporary/traditional services was a challenge because of the unique shape of the sanctuary,” said Kris Johnson, co-founder and chief operating officer of Colorado Springs-based Sight & Sound Technologies, the firm that handled the sound system renovation. “There are two huge beams separated by a twenty-five feet run from the front of the sanctuary to the back, and there’s a pretty dramatic slope down on either side of the beams. The height of the whole ceiling also changes, with the lowest height right above the stage.”
Johnson continued, “I like Danley’s approach to designing loudspeakers and subwoofers, and this seemed like it would be a good application based on the pattern control, phase coherence, and fidelity we needed. I feel like I have a pretty good gut sense of what constitutes great sound, and Danley has a good scientific sense of what constitutes great sound. I understand sound on a practical level, and it’s gratifying to have it matched up by Danley’s grasp of the underlying physics. To help Faith Evangelical Free Church make an informed decision, DarbyReps (Danley’s Colorado rep firm) came in and gave them an inspiring demo.”
